摘要

英语教学(EMI)已成为高等教育国际化议程的一个重要方面,而高等教育国际化议程也日益提倡世界主义和全球公民意识。然而,在 EMI 课程中,讲师的非母语英语口音可能会对学生的内容理解构成挑战,并影响他们对讲师和教育质量的评价。动机,无论是工具性动机还是综合性动机,对于英语母语教学和学生的(语言)学习也是至关重要的。尽管如此,人们对学生的世界观和动机取向如何影响他们对英语母语教学中使用的英语口音的态度的关注还很有限。因此,这项在荷兰一所应用科学大学进行的定量探索性研究旨在深入了解 1225 名学生对英语母语教学中荷兰语-英语和标准英语口音的态度,以及这些态度的潜在预测因素。研究结果表明,学生对标准英语口音的态度更为积极,但那些具有较高世界主义倾向的学生对荷兰英语口音的态度也更为积极。为了进一步研究这些态度,了解学生的学习动机和世界主义取向的变化,未来的研究应采用纵向和混合方法的研究设计。此类研究的结果以及本研究可指导高等教育机构调整其政策,以创造更有意义和更具包容性的 EMI 体验。

Students’ attitudes towards accents in English-medium instruction: The role of cosmopolitan and motivation orientations

English-medium instruction (EMI) has become a key aspect of internationalisation agendas in higher education, which are also increasingly promoting cosmopolitanism and global citizenship. Within EMI programmes, however, lecturers' non-native English accents can pose challenges for students' content understanding and influence their evaluations of lecturers and education quality. Motivation, whether instrumental or integrative, can also be crucial for EMI and students' (language) learning. Despite this, limited attention has been given to how students' cosmopolitan and motivation orientations may shape their attitudes towards English accents used in EMI. This quantitative exploratory study, conducted at a university of applied sciences in the Netherlands, therefore aimed to gain insights into 1225 students' attitudes towards Dutch-English and standard English accents in EMI, and the potential predictors of these attitudes. The findings revealed that students had more positive attitudes towards standard English accents, but those with higher cosmopolitan orientations also had more positive attitudes towards Dutch-English accents. To further investigate these attitudes and understand changes in students’ motivation and cosmopolitan orientations, future studies should employ longitudinal and mixed-methods research designs. The findings from such research, along with this study, can guide higher education institutions in adjusting their policies to create more meaningful and inclusive EMI experiences.
